The gene, IFRC, on human chromosome 21 was considered on the basis of indirect functional and antibody blocking evidence, to code for an interferon receptor. To obtain direct evidence for this conclusion, the specific binding of 125I-HuIFN[human-interferon]-.alpha.A to matched sets of fibroblasts diploid and aneuploid for chromosome 21 was determined. Although the dissociation constant for IFN-.alpha. is the same for both trisomic and diploid cells, trisomic cells bind more IFN-.alpha. and monosomic cells less than do diploid cells. When the data for all determinations are combined, the monosomy 21:diploid:trisomy 21 binding ratios are 0.5:0.8:1.5, in good agreement with the values of 0.5:1.0:1.5 expected on the basis of strict gene dosage considerations for a product coded for by chromosome 21. The chromosome 21 gene product determined by IFRC and recognized by antibodies which block IFN action is truly a specific cell surface receptor for HIF-.alpha.
